Mandate to rule

Smiling grinning imbecile principles on his
sleeve and celebrities in his house and we chose this man again
to continue to run our lives and I ask you how can this happen how
did we do this and why is the only alternative so unspeakably hideous
that he was the only choice and now they can stand there
and tell me they have a "mandate to rule" when half the
country didn’t even bother to choose them it was such an inevitable
"victory".

I used to believe I used to believe in change
and ideals and I remember when it seemed so amazing that we’d finally
got rid of the bunch of self serving fuckwits who had been happily
screwing us over for years but nothing changed we just ended up
with another group of self serving fuckwits and now there is no
choice there is no alternative there are no principles and nobody
cares anymore there is only the pursuit of power and these people
will do and say whatever it takes to get and keep it and it makes
me sick it makes me fucking sick it makes me realise that there
is nothing to human nature but I am looking out for myself and fuck
everybody else I’m alright jack so pull the ladder up.
